How is probability
calculated for simple
events?
You roll a fair number cube. Find the probability of each event. Write each
answer as a fraction, decimal, and percent.
1.)
What is the difference
between theoretical an
experimental probability?
How is sample space
used to list the outcomes
of an experiment?
P(4)
2.)
P(less than 6)
3.)
P(not a 2)
The results of rolling a fair number cube 50 times are shown. Use the bar graph
to find the experimental probability of the event.
4.)
P(4)
5.)
P(less than 6)
6.)
P(not a 2)
7.)
Use the graph to predict the number of times 4 will be rolled if the number
cubed is rolled 450 times.
For each situation, find the sample space by listing all of the possible outcomes.
8.)
Brueger’s Bagels offers 4 types of bagels and 3 types of
cream cheese. Create a sample space of all of the
possible bagel choices.
9.)
A blue or red hat comes in medium, large, or extra-large. Draw a tree
diagram and list the outcomes for the situation.

Notes:
How is the number of
outcomes of an event
calculated?
Employee identification codes at a company contain 2 letters followed by 3 digits
All codes are equally likely.
10.) Find the number of possible identification codes.
11.) Find the probability of being assigned the identification code XY789.
12.) Find the probability that an identification code does not contain a vowel.
How is probability
calculated for compound
events?
Tell whether the events are independent or dependent. Explain.
13.) drawing a card from a deck of cards and tossing a coin
14.) drawing two cards from a regular deck of cards and not replacing the first
An experiment consists of rolling a fair number cube and tossing a fair coin. Find
the probability of the compound events.
15.) P(4 and Tails)
16.) P(2 or 3 and Heads)
A box contains 7 red marbles, 9 blue marbles, and 4 white marble. The marbles
are selected at random, one at a time, and are not replaced. Find the probability.
17.) P(blue and red)
18.) P(red and white and blue)
